Victas Fire Fall FC – Controlled Offensive Table Tennis Blade

The Victas Fire Fall FC is a controlled offensive table tennis blade that stands out with its excellent ball feel and balanced combination of speed and control. This 5+2 ply blade, weighing around 82 g and measuring 6.0 mm in thickness, uses soft Fleece Carbon fiber placed directly on the wooden core, providing a sensitive feel and high control. Made in Japan in collaboration with German technology, the Fire Fall FC is ITTF-approved and designed for modern offensive players who emphasize spin and precision.

The Fire Fall FC is built from five wooden layers (limba outer, ayous middle layers, kiri core) and two Fleece Carbon layers positioned directly on the core. This 5+2 construction, with a 6.0 mm thickness, ensures a soft yet dynamic touch. Fleece Carbon, softer than traditional carbon fiber, reduces vibrations and increases ball contact time, allowing for strong spin generation. Its 82 g weight makes it light and easy to maneuver, and the 157 x 150 mm head size offers a large sweet spot. The limba outer layer enhances spin potential, while the Fleece Carbon adds speed without excessive stiffness. The ITTF approval allows it to be used in professional tournaments.

The Fire Fall FC is tailored for controlled offensive play:

• Speed: 96/100

• Control: 90–92/100

• Flex: 95/100

Classified as OFF-, the blade offers medium-high speed suitable for topspin, counter-attacks, and blocks. The extended ball contact time enabled by the Fleece Carbon and limba makes it easy to generate spin, especially for looping (rated 9.5/10 for slow looping). High control ensures precision in serve reception, blocking, and short play. The blade’s high trajectory supports topspin strokes but may be too slow for players seeking extreme speed. Compared to the Butterfly Innerforce Layer ZLF, the Fire Fall FC is faster but provides a similar feel.

It is the lightest and most controlled blade in the Victas Fire Fall series. The 5+2 ply construction with Fleece Carbon next to the core delivers a soft yet dynamic touch, ideal for players who emphasize spin and precision. With its 82 g weight and 6.0 mm thickness, it’s easy to control, and its large sweet spot minimizes mishits. It is less stiff than the Victas Fire Fall AC or ZX-Gear OUT, making it suitable for players preferring a gentler feel. It pairs well with spin-focused rubbers like Victas V>15 Extra, Xiom Omega V Euro, or Adidas P7, which enhance spin and control. Users note it is not well-suited for hard Chinese rubbers due to its softness.

The Fire Fall FC offers two handle options:

• Flared (FL, 100 x 23 mm) – wider grip, ideal for women or players with smaller hands

• Straight (ST, 100 x 22 mm) – narrower, for traditional grip users

The handles are high-quality with Japanese craftsmanship, and the dark design with red accents adds aesthetic appeal. The light 82 g weight and center of gravity closer to the handle improve maneuverability.

The Fire Fall FC is designed for offensive players who emphasize spin, control, and play near or mid-distance from the table. It’s suitable for intermediate to advanced players using looping topspins, blocks, and counter-attacks while maintaining precision. Its soft feel and high trajectory make it effective for spin, but less so for flat hits or speed-driven play. Compared to the Andro Treiber CI OFF, the Fire Fall FC is softer and slower but provides better ball feel. Users recommend it for two-wing looping play with spin-oriented rubbers.

In summary, the Fire Fall FC is a controlled offensive blade with excellent ball feel. The Fleece Carbon layers and limba outer provide high spin potential and control (90–92/100), while the light 82 g weight ensures easy handling. Compared to the XIOM Hayabusa ARX, the Fire Fall FC is slower but more controllable, making it ideal for players transitioning from all-wood blades. ITTF approval, Japanese quality, and accessible pricing make it a compelling choice. Users praise its versatility, especially in serve reception and blocking, though it’s not suited for speed-focused players.

Victas Fire Fall FC – spin, precision, and a smooth feel combined. With its 5+2 Fleece Carbon construction, light weight, and ITTF certification, it delivers professional-grade performance. Perfect for players who value spin and control close to the table. The Fire Fall FC is feel, accuracy, and versatility in one blade!
